For the first birthday of World of Goo, 2D Boy put the game on sale with one of them “name your own price” deals.
The results were interesting. They made a lot of money for a year old game, and they deserve all of it.
Holy balls. I can’t believe there are over 1 million sets of plastic toys in living rooms throughout the country. Don’t get me wrong, I would buy it too if it wasn’t so pricey, but jesus.
Let’s break down the numbers:
In just two months, that’s $175,000,000 for EA and Harmonix for a gaming platform, not even just a game, that’s going to continue as a flourishing money tree for years. And when they add more instruments, it’s going to get even more ridiculous.
7.8 million downloads = $33 million. Nice work, Nintendo. Making all that late-80s/early-90s money all over again.
